All About ***/AIDS in Ukraine
The ***/AIDS epidemic in Ukraine is one of the fastest growing in the world
Experts estimated in August 2010 that 1.3 percent of the adult population of Ukraine was infected with ***, the highest in all of Europe
Late 2011 Ukraine numbered 360,000 ***-positive persons (increase in the rate close to zero compared with 2010)
Between 1987 and late 2012 27,800 Ukrainians died of AIDS
In 2012 tests revealed 57 new cases of *** positive Ukrainians each day and 11 daily AIDS-related deaths (on a population of roughly 45 million at the time).
Identified in the country in 1987, ***/AIDS appeared to be confined to a small population until the mid-1990s, when a sudden and explosive epidemic emerged among injecting drug users in the southern and eastern regions of the country
Ukraine has one of the highest rates of increase of ***/AIDS cases in Eastern Europe.
